    Editor's note: This story was originally published by KDLG in Dillingham and is republished here with permission. Bristol Bay's sockeye are returning by the millions to their natal streams. But not all salmon find their way back home — some find new areas to spawn. Peter Westley is a Fisheries Professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. His research explores the act of salmon straying, and whether that's a choice or a mistake. "If a fish does stray, it tends to end up in a stream that's pre

    Bristol Bay honors 75th anniversary of the end of commercial sailboat fishery (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Diesel-powered boats fish Bristol Bay's waters by the hundreds, but it wasn't always that way. Motorized fishing vessels were once banned in Bristol Bay. And in their place, sailboats dominated the commercial fishery until the early 50s. The late Harvey Samuelson was one fisherman who sailed for salmon. His quotations used in this story are from a 2005 interview that aired on KDLG in a Bristol Bay oral history program called "Our Story." "We didn't have no reels or anything like that," Samuelson

    Bristol Bay's sockeye run is coming to a close, and it just surpassed the Alaska Department of Fish & Game's pre-season forecast of 44 million fish.

    Number of women set net permit holders in Bristol Bay in decline, new research shows (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Bristol Bay set netting used to be dominated by women. When the limited entry permit system started in the 70s, it had the highest rates of women permit holders in the state – by a landslide. One woman who's been fishing since even before limited entry is June Ingram. Ingram has fished the same family set net site in Ekuk for over 60 years after her grandfather first came to Bristol Bay as a winter watchman for a cannery. "He came to Ekuk in 1939 and staked this property, this site," she said. E

    Bristol Bay fishermen express concerns over Northline, Silver Bay, and BBEDC's new arrangements (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Dan Rigsbee has fished for the processing company Northline Seafoods for three years, since the company's first season operating its barge, the Hannah. "Northline was always a risk, I guess, being a younger startup company," he said. In a region where shore-side processors are the status quo, Northline's business model revolves around the Hannah. The floating processor anchors seasonally in Nushagak Bay. The company freezes fish whole aboard the Hannah, and then processes the fish throughout the
